Question

x^8y^7+16x^7y^6+24xy factor

Answer 1

Each part has an x and a y. you'll want to figure out what the lowest exponent is. the last one has an exponent of 1 for both x and y. so that's your lowest. if you factor out an x and y from all of the terms, you will get\[xy(x ^{7y ^{6}}+16x ^{6}y ^{5}+24)\]
